...When you photoshop your face onto a formerly popular tv geek/nerd character after having dressed up as them for halloween, post it on facebook for laughs and then get into a legalese-type argument with your equally geek/nerd older brother about the relative geek/nerd quotient of committing such an act and whether it violates the George Lucas/Gene Roddenberry Accord of 1988 or whether the Carter/JMS/Wright Decision of 2001 is applicable*.

Bonus points if it then deteriorates into a debate over the literal, popular, or just plain fanciful definition of whether one is a "geek" or a "nerd" and just how much high school angst one must have been subject to in order to qualify for either label.

Honorary Mention for the utter dismissal of SG-1** for the inclusion of Ricky D and culminating in all of one's respective friends responding to said discussion with the arbitrary and completely frelled-up label "losers with nothing better to do" in regards to both parties.

..... when you name the tables at your wedding after various bacteria and viruses because both you and your fiance are Scientists...

Is this for real? And, if so.....did anyone actually EAT anything at that wedding?

Yep, sure is! Our guests thought it was quite amusing, we had 2 tables of scientists there too who found it particulary nerdy. As far as I know, all the food was gobbled up. If I could ever figure out how to post a picture, I would show you how it was presented! The bridal table was Epstein-Barr Virus, cos it's the kissing disease We also had Sacromyces cerevisiae which is the yeast used to make Rum and Beer, we put all the drinkers on that table

...when the first insult that enters your head is Klingon (p'tak if anyone's interested - it's my insult of the month)...you understand most of the science jokes on The Big Bang Theory and totally understand Sheldon's reaction to Penny's Christmas napkin.
